The Mayor, Councillor Jasmine Browne, attended the Wells Almshouses Christmas Carol Concert at St Cuthbert’s Church on Tuesday 10th December.
There are five almshouse buildings in the City of Wells, providing 33 units of accommodation for older people in housing need. The earliest of the five almshouses was founded in the fifteenth century through a legacy provided from the estate of the former Bishop of Bath and Wells and Treasurer to King Henry IV, Nicholas Bubwith. Bubwith’s Almshouse is located next to St Cuthbert’s Churchyard.
